This first week of spring, get on your bike in solidarity with the RNC 8! Reclaim the sites of last fall's RNC raids in the Tour de Fletcher.

Join us on this legal, fun ride visiting and reclaiming the sites of Sheriff Bob Fletcher's pre-emptive raids. Put the brakes on bogus terrorism charges! There'll be activities, speakers, surprises, and more ways to ride with the RNC 8, eight members of our community facing possible prison time in response to their effective political organizing. Whatever the weather - we ride together!
